The final decision on this was taken by the Bund-Länder Kommission in October 2007. The ZMT became an associate member of the Leibniz Association in October 2007 and is a full member since January 2009. The membership was accompanied by a change in the legal status of the ZMT and included a modification of its name to “Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology” (LeibnizZentrum für Marine Tropenökologie GmbH – ZMT). The ZMT is currently in the process of establishing an institutional structure that takes into account the recommendations of the Science Council based on its evaluations. It involves changes in the scientific and organizational structure of the ZMT, the recruitment of new personnel as well as the acquisition of additional space and new infrastructure. Immediately after the evaluation, two new professorships were installed in cooperation with the University of Bremen in the fields of marine botany and social sciences. The cooperation agreement with the University is to Introduction 4 last for a period of three years. The status of these professorships will be reexamined after an evaluation during 2009-2010. In 2008, the Center advertised four additional new professorships: two of which concern reef ecology and biogeochemistry (in cooperation with the University of Bremen), the other two ecological modeling and social sciences (in cooperation with the Jacobs University Bremen). Joint appointment committees for the positions are expected to complete their work by the end of 2009. The increasing demand for work space associated with these developments is being met by renting an additional floor in the annex and by constructing a three-story extension to the annex for laboratory and office space. The construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2009, on time for the recruitment of new research groups associated with the newly advertised professorships. Meanwhile, the ZMT continued to implement its long-term joint research projects in cooperation with universities and research institutions in Indonesia, China, southern Africa, and Vietnam. These projects addressed issues related to the use and protection of coastal and marine systems and collected scientific information needed for the development of integrated coastal management strategies. The research has contributed to enhance our understanding, for example, of marine biodiversity in tropical waters, the link between coastal degradation and human health, possible responses of coral reef ecosystems to thermal stress under various nutrient regimes as well as of the impact of peat-soil degradation on aquatic systems in the tropics. The ZMT’s research efforts were accompanied by joint measures with our partners to foster capacity building in the field of marine sciences. Thus, it continued to contribute to the English language Master’s program offered at the University of Bremen, ISATEC (International Studies in Aquatic Tropical Ecology). Together with the Leibniz Institute for Marine Sciences in Kiel, the ZMT coordinates the implementation of a Master’s course in marine sciences at the Universities of Bremen and Kiel and the Ocean University in Qingdao, China. The Center also organized summer schools and special training courses in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam under ongoing projects. Through the German Operational Center of the International Ocean Institute, hosted by the ZMT, the ZMT participated in the development of a course in fisheries science in Papua New Guinea. The ZMT is currently involved in the development of new long-term projects in the regions of southern Africa and China. These efforts are based on discussions with new partners during the visits of delegations of the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) to South Africa, Namibia, and China. In the region of southern Africa, a new project (DESIGN – Desert-Sea Interactions in the Ecology and Biogeochemistry of the Namibian Coastal Waters) was developed in cooperation with the University of Namibia and its Marine Research Centre (SANUMARC) in Henties Bay. It is a contribution to the BMBF’s Earth System Research Initiative “The Southern Africa Research Alliance”, involving many institutions in Germany and southern Africa. In China, the ZMT is taking part in projects within the overall initiative on “Central Asia: Monsoon Dynamics and Geoecosystems”. Close cooperation is also envisaged with the Institute of Marine Sciences of the University of Dar Es Salaam in Zanzibar, Tanzania, where the impact of changes in the East African monsoon on coastal ecosystems is the focus of research. Bilateral activities of the ZMT formed an important contribution to the work of international organizations such as the IOCUNESCO (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the UNESCO) and SCOR (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment), especially in the field of capacity building. The ZMT continued its cooperation with the NAM S & T Centre under the joint fellowship program facilitating short-term stays for young scientists from developing countries to work at the ZMT’s laboratories in Bremen. Its network of institutions in Asia ACEMON (Aquatic Ecosystems of Monsoon Asia) exchanged information on coastal research during its annual meetings. The ZMT was also a partner in organizing several regional, national, and international events, such as the World Ocean Conference in Manado, Indonesia, the German exhibition “Germany and China – Moving Ahead Together” in Guangzhou, the presentation of the MADAM project at the Fiema exhibition in Brazil, the “Joint NAM S&T – ZMT Workshop on Coastal Ecosystems: Hazards 5 introduction Management and Rehabilitation” in Purwokerto, Indonesia, the European Coral Reef Conference in Bremen, a workshop on semienclosed basins jointly with SCOR, SCOPE and IAPSO at the Hanse Wissenschaftskolleg in Delmenhorst, and a lecture series plus exhibition for the public in Bremen within the “Year of the Reef” activities. Overall, the ZMT continued to develop while strengthening its research and capacity building capabilities, thereby taking into account the recommendations of the German Council of Science and Humanities. Its efforts were supported by the State of Bremen and the Federal Ministry for Education and Research. We are particularly grateful to the support and help we received from our partner institutions in the tropics in this regard. ZMT The ZMT maintains a global network of partners in tropical countries with which it conducts its research and capacity building activities. The map shows countries with which the ZMT has been conducting research projects during the reporting period. introduction 6 Research Projects page Science for the Protection of Indonesian Coastal Ecosystems – SPICE 08 Land-Sea Interactions in Coastal Ecosystems of Tropical China – LANCET 10 Ecosystem Functioning of Rehabilitated Versus Natural Mangroves in the Can Gio Reserve 11 Ocean-Reef Coupling in the Andaman Sea – ORCAS 11 Investigation of the Spatial Connectivity of Fish Populations between and to Estuarine and Coastal Habitats 12 Investigation of the Distribution of Zoo- and Ichthyoplankton in the Angola-Benguela Frontal System 12 River Inputs and their Impact on Reef Ecosystems along the Coast of Central Vietnam 13 Role of System Biogeochemistry on the Distribution and Abundance of Vibrio-organisms in Karnaphuli River Estuary, Bangladesh – BIOVIBAN 13 Climate Variability and El Niño Southern Oscillation: Implications for Natural Coastal Resources and Management - CENSOR 14 Impact of Nitrogen Effluents from Sugar-Cane Monoculture on Water Quality and Biogeochemistry of the Mundau-Manguaba Lagoon and adjacent Coastal Waters off East Brazil 14 Environmental Assessment in Tsunami-affected Andaman Islands, India 15 Development of Feed and Quality Improvement for Tropical Shrimps 15 High-PUFA Algae 16 Breeding and Rearing of Ornamental Organisms under Controlled Conditions 16 Science for the Protection of Indonesian Coastal Ecosystems – SPICE 2003- 2010 Duration Indonesia Country Main partners Universities and research institutions in Germany (Bremen, Bremerhaven, Geesthacht, Hamburg, Jena, Kiel, Oldenburg, Warnemünde) and Indonesia (Bandung, Bogor, Gondol, Jakarta, Makassar, Palembang, Pekanbaru, Purwokerto, Semarang, Surabaya) BMBF Funding details Integrated project with six subprojects, coordinated by the ZMT The ZMT coordinates SPICE, the bilateral German-Indonesian research project that addresses the scientific, social and economic aspects of the protection and sustainable use of Indonesian coastal waters and their resources. The SPICE Program was initiated in 2003, with the first phase carried out in 2003-2007. It provided significant information on the structure and function of coastal ecosystems covering mangroves, coral reefs, coastal pelagic systems, and peat swamps, and on their alterations due to human interventions. These results have already found their way into management strategies currently being developed by the regional planning authorities. Phase II started in 2007 and will last until 2010. Based on the information and experience gained in the first phase, the focus on natural sciences is complemented by social science. The aims are to better understand the social dimension of coastal ecosystem changes, analyze social-ecological dynamics, and improve the links between research and decision-making. In four of the six research clusters within SPICE, the ZMT also conducts its own research with partners in Indonesia: Coral Reef-Based Ecosystems and Resources The work is being carried out in coral reef ecosystems and adjacent sea grass meadows in South Sulawesi, which are influenced by research projects 8 dynamite fishing and land-based pollution. The work on reef ecosystems has been extended to include aspects of marine botany. After a survey of the dominant microalgae on the reefs, the photosynthetic characteristics were determined along gradients in depth and anthropogenic impact. This information forms the basis of ongoing experimental work related to the impact of eutrophication and to mechanisms of physiological adaptation to combined abiotic stress factors. Understanding Ecological and SocioEconomic Dynamics and their Interaction in the Segara Anakan Lagoon The principal aim is to establish a biogeochemical, ecological, and social scientific data base for the sustainable use of the largest mangrove ecosystem on the island of Java. Seasonal measurements are being made of biogeochemical and ecological processes in the lagoon. Because of their role in the internal recycling of carbon and nutrients in mangroves and tidal flats, benthic communities are receiving special attention. The project also succeeded in establishing links to authorities and stakeholder groups. The work will continue in close cooperation with the socioeconomic group at the ZMT. Transfer of Natural and Anthropogenic Material from Land to Coastal Sea Indonesia holds the largest share of tropical peat lands worldwide which is strongly affected by deforestation and drainage. Our study in the Siak River, Sumatra, aims at identifying and quantifying environmental impacts of peat soil leaching on the water quality in the river and the coastal ocean. Results show that the organic carbon fluxes are enormous and lead to light limitation in coastal areas, thus contributing to reduced primary productivity. The study has been extended to other peat-draining rivers of Sumatra, which will allow to ascertain the representativeness of previous results. Biogeochemical Fluxes in the Indonesian Seas This project investigates the influence of monsoons and climatic anomalies associated with El Niño events on the upwelling system off the Javanese coast, which is an important fisheries region. Initial results show that El Niño events strengthen upwelling along the Javanese coast and could increase fisheries yield. Also, carbon dioxide emissions from the upwelling system are strongly controlled by freshwater introduced by small rivers during the wet season. Further studies will examine the functional relationships between the strength of the biological pump and the freshwater discharge in upwelling systems. Seasonal Variability in the Impact of Carbon and Nutrient Inputs from Brantas River on the Madura Strait The aim of this project is to develop an automatic measuring system for the assessment of water quality in the Madura Strait. The ZMT participates in the project through the collection of spatio-temporal datasets on the impact of the influx of nutrients and organic substances from the Brantas River on the water quality of the Madura Strait. Governance and Management of Coastal Social-Ecological Systems The project will examine the social and economic aspects of the use of resources associated with the mangrove and coral reef ecosystems in Indonesia. It will concentrate on two SPICE research regions where preliminary information from natural science projects is available: Spermonde Archipelago in Sulawesi and Segara Anakan Lagoon in Java. 9 research projects Land-Sea Interactions in Coastal Ecosystems of Tropical China – LANCET 2006- 2009 Duration China Country Main partners Universities in Germany (Bremen, Hamburg) and China (Shanghai, Qingdao), research institutes in China (Haikou, Hangzhou) BMBF Funding details Integrated project with 5 subprojects, coordinated by the ZMT LANCET examines the role of land-sea fluxes on tropical coastal ecosystems of the Chinese island of Hainan. The results are expected to provide detailed scientific information on a tropical system that has been poorly studied. Furthermore, they will make a contribution to the current initiatives of the Hainan government by providing the necessary scientific database for developing adequate coastal management strategies. The LANCET studies are being conducted in 5 subprojects, 3 of which are being led by ZMT scientists. The overall coordination of the project is also with the ZMT. Current Status and Regulatory Functions of Hainan Coral Reefs Once flourishing coral reefs of Hainan are coming under increasing pressure from sweeping coastal development. Understanding the response of corals to these pressures is crucial for predicting their resilience in the face of natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Substrate cover, composition, photosynthetic activity as well as physiological properties of several coral types are being studied. In all coral types, water and zooplankton samples are collected to assess the quality of the ambient environment. Status of Shallow-Water Fish Assemblages Tropical shallow-water habitats function as important nursery and feeding grounds for research projects 10 fishes. They move between different coastal habitats in close proximity, like mangroves, seagrass beds, sandy beaches, and coral reefs. Knowledge about this connectivity is fundamental for designing effective conservation and management strategies. The project aims at describing the status of fish communities and the analysis of the connectivity between ecosystems in an intensively fished estuary. Fluxes and Transformation of Nutrient and Organic Matter from Watershed to the Coastal Sea The goal of this study is to show how human activities on land alter river-water quality and the biogeochemistry of receiving coastal waters. Thus, conversion of mangrove forests to aquaculture leads to an increased release of sediments, nutrients, and pollutants into coastal waters. Sewage effluents change the natural pattern of riverine carbon and nutrient fluxes. Riverine and estuarine environments as well as seagrass beds along the coast are being investigated with a view to assessing the impact of land-based activities. Ecosystem Functioning of Rehabilitated Versus Natural Mangroves in the Can Gio Reserve This project investigates the question whether reforested mangroves are comparable in terms of function and structure with natural mangrove forests, by studying the biogeochemistry and ecology of benthic organisms. The first phase of the project ended in 2007. A second phase has been approved by the DFG for a period of two years. It investigates the regeneration of mangrove forests that were damaged by cyclones and lightning within the context of the implemented management practices. Duration 2004- 2009 Country Vietnam Main partner Vietnam National University Funding DFG details Subproject of the integrated project “Land-Ocean Atmospheric Interactions in the Coastal Zone of Vietnam”, coordinated by the ZMT Ocean-Reef Coupling in the Andaman Sea – ORCAS The project investigates the oceanic processes that affect the turnover of material and energy in offshore coral reefs of the Andaman Sea. Of particular interest are internal ocean waves of enormous amplitude (80 m) and their impact on the material and energy cycling of the coral reefs. The work is being carried out by Ph.

Main partner Phuket Marine Biological Center Since the principal investigator changed to the AWI in Bremerhaven in 2008, the project Funding DFG is now being conducted from there, while the ZMT offers support to the students for their research. 11 research projects Investigation of the Spatial Connectivity of Fish Populations between and to Estuarine and Coastal Habitats 2006-2009 Duration Brazil Country Main partners Universities of Belem and Recife IB / BMBF Funding Offshore populations of the weakfish Cynoscion acoupa are being investigated using chemical fingerprints from otoliths and genetic markers to determine the spatial connectivity of the fish between estuaries along the northeast Brazilian coast. An improved understanding of recruitment processes will aid in the urgent need for a better management of the heavily exploited fish stocks. Connectivity between estuarine and coastal habitats is quantified for the first time for C. acoupa. Investigation of the Distribution of Zooplankton and Ichthyoplankton in the Angola-Benguela Frontal System 2008 Duration Namibia, South Africa Countries Main partners University of Bremen, Marine and Coastal Management Institute (Cape Town) IB / BMBF Funding research projects The ZMT’s long-term cooperation with South Africa and Namibia was continued with focus on the Angola-Benguela Frontal System. A major event was the expedition of the Maria S. Merian to the region. The aim was to trace the development of communities in upwelling cells and to conduct physiological studies on organisms to obtain information on their adaptation to changing environmental conditions. This work is to be continued within the framework of the BMBF Project “GENUS”, which will be funded early in 2009. 12 River Inputs and their Impact on Reef Ecosystems along the Coast of Central Vietnam The project studies the flux and seasonal variability of suspended matter, sediments as well as carbon and nutrient elements, and their possible impact on the reef ecosystems of central Vietnam. Processing long-term data sets in conjunction with those obtained from the measurements being made within this project is a major goal. Sediment and nutrient investigations were carried out and water and reef samples collected in two regions. To observe changes in coral growth and environmental conditions, markings and loggers were placed which allow observations to proceed for up to 2 years. Duration 2006- 2009 Country Vietnam Main partner Institute of Oceanography (Nha Trang) Funding IB / BMBF Role of System Biogeochemistry on the Distribution and Abundance of V ibrio-organisms in the Karnaphuli River Estuary, Bangladesh – BIOVIBAN This one-year project investigates the interactions between hydrochemical dynamics of tropical estuaries and cholera outbreaks in the region. The project contributes towards a better understanding of the distribution of Vibrio cholerae in coastal ecosystems and the observed cyclicity in cholera outbreaks related to hydrology and climate. Based on the results obtained, a new proposal is being submitted to the DFG. Duration 2007- 2008 Country Bangladesh Main partner International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases Research Funding DFG 13 research projects Climate Variability and El Niño Southern Oscillation: Implications for Natural Coastal Resources and Management – CENSOR 2004- 2008 Duration Peru Country Main partner National Agrarian University (Lima) EU Funding details Integrated project with 14 participating institutions from Germany, France, Spain, Chile, Peru and Argentina, coordinated by AWI, Bremerhaven CENSOR is an interdisciplinary research project, which aims at assessing and modeling the impact of climate variability induced by El Niño on the Humboldt Current Large Marine Ecosystem and its species assemblages and resource users. The ZMT is responsible for the data integration, dissemination, and modeling with different approaches, like trophodynamic models which describe holistically the biomass flow structure of the ecosystem and simulate use scenarios. Workshops, symposia, and post graduate training courses were organized for data dissemination and integration. The project scientists were also involved in the development of a management plan for coastal resources in northern Peru. The concluding workshop of this project was held in September 2008. Impact of Nitrogen Effluents from Sugar-Cane Monoculture on Water Quality and Biogeochemistry of the Mundau-Manguaba Lagoon and adjacent Coastal Waters off East Brazil 2006- 2009 Duration Brazil Country Main partner Fluminense Federal University (Niteroi/ Rio de Janeiro) BMBF Funding details Increased river inputs of nitrogen to coastal waters are a major problem in many areas of the world.

The ZMT investigates coral cores (Chennai) retrieved from both areas. Funding IB / BMBF Development of Feed and Quality Improvement for Tropical Shrimps The experiments in this project were related to the fish feed and biomonitoring of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The aim was the development of special shrimp feed containing various amounts of total protein and a reduced amount of fishmeal, a major protein source in commercial shrimp feed. Fish protein was replaced by plant protein derived from soya, lupine, peas, etc. Tests conducted with cheaper substances such as grain distillery waste showed that additives could enhance its uptake and assimilation rates. The research results are currently being used by the industrial project partner to build a pilot plant for feed production. Duration 2004- 2008 Main partners Polyplan GmbH, Algatec (Bremen), Institut für Getreideverarbeitung GmbH (Potsdam) Funding Bremer Innovationsagentur, AG industrieller Forschungsvereinigungen 15 research projects High-PUFA Algae 2008-2010 Duration Main partners AquaCare GmbH (Dortmund), Ceramics (Bremen), TeLa GmbH (Bremerhaven) Funding AG industrieller Forschungsvereinigungen The project aims at the optimization of the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids by conducting experiments with a variety of algae and varying the environmental and production conditions. Within the project, the ZMT will cooperate with new partners from the industry, e.g. Aquacare-Herten, TelaBremerhaven, and Ceramics-Bremen. Breeding and Rearing of Ornamental Organisms under Controlled Conditions since 2004 Duration Main partners University of Bremen, Ecomaris GmbH (Büsum) Funding ZMT, Bremer Innovationsagentur research projects The purpose of this project is to promote conservation of the coral reefs by breeding selected ornamental species and thus avoiding wild catches. The work focuses on three areas: water quality management, broodstock management, and nutritional research. Experiments concentrated on clownfishes, seahorses, and particularly on giant clams. 16 With these, the focus is on photosynthesis, respiration, and calcification under varying abiotic conditions, and on the influence of nutrients on animal growth. The production of live feed (Artemia, Rotaria, copepods and algae) for the rearing of larvae is being continuously optimized. Featured Research page Collapse of a New Living Species of Giant Clam in the Red Sea 18 Links between Coastal Processes and Vibrio Cholerae Dynamics in the Indian Subcontinent: Seasonality and Relation to Cholera Incidence 20 Coral Photophysiology in Response to Thermal Stress and Nutritional Status 21 Tropical Peat Soil Degradation: Impacts on the Aquatic Environment 23 Collapse of a New Living Species of Giant Clam in the Red Sea Claudio Richter Hilly Roa-Quiaoit et. al. Giant clams belong to the most spectacular but also the most endangered marine invertebrates. The large size of giant clams – their shells can measure up to 1.4 m - is due to microalgae living in very high densities in the colorful clam mantle tissues. They provide the energy to precipitate the large amounts of calcium carbonate composing the shell. In many places, their large size and easy accessibility was the reason for overfishing and the collapse of the natural stocks. The diversity of giant clams is extremely low, only seven extant species of Tridacna are known. Our studies within the “Red-Sea Ornamentals Program” provided evidence for a morphologically, genetically, ecologically, and paleoecologically distinct new species of giant clam in the Red Sea: Tridacna costata. Its oversight in one of the best-investigated reef provinces illustrates the dearth of knowledge on marine biodiversity. The Red Sea program was initiated in cooperation with the Marine Science Station at Aqaba in 2002. Its goal was to study the life cycle of giant clams with the prospect of breeding them in order to supply the growing aquarists’ demand for the prized blue T. maxima, and possibly also re-stock the featured research 18 depleted stocks and thus contribute to the conservation of genetic resources in the Red Sea. Morphology has been the foundation of taxonomy for centuries but has often failed to delineate between species with overlapping and variable phenotypes. The incorporation of molecular and ecological data has greatly sharpened our ability to draw species boundaries. T. costata features a deeply folded, almost zig-zag dorsal shell margin, while its two Red Sea congeners show only weakly sinusoidal margins. We quantified the morphological similarities by five morphological parameters. Analysis of similarity showed a highly significant separation of T. costata from the other two species. The morphological differences were corroborated by phylogenetic analysis of molecular data. With a fragment of the mitochondrial rRNA gene, we found a clear delineation between T. costata and its sympatric congeners, but virtually no difference between replicate specimens, supporting monophyly of T. costata. Although seasonal times of reproduction are not diagnostic features per se and may vary between years and regions, we found marked differences between the Red Sea species: T. costata differed from its congeners in an early and only brief reproductive period in spring, coinciding with the seasonal plankton bloom. The timing of reproduction suggests a planktotrophic development of the larvae, contrasting the food-independent larval development in the summer-spawning T. squamosa and T. maxima. T. costata represents less than 1% of the present stocks. Underwater surveys carried out in the Gulf of Aqaba and northern Red Sea showed that T. costata must be considered as critically endangered. Only six out of a thousand live specimens belonged to the new species. Overall, Tridacna stocks have plummeted to less than 5% of their sizes in the 1980s and 1990s because of artisanal reef-top gathering for meat and shells. As opposed to T. maxima and T. squamosa, which have a broad vertical range of distribution, T. costata is restricted to the reef top. This fact, along with its narrow reproductive window and plankton-dependent larval development, make T. costata particularly vulnerable to overfishing. One of the striking features of the Red Sea is that, in many places, one can time-travel into the past by means of exposed coralreef terraces towering up to tens of meters above the present-day sea level. We carried out surveys along the shores and well-dated emerged reef terraces of Sinai and Aqaba, showing that T. costata constituted more than 80% of the giant clam stocks prior to the last interglacial (125,000 years ago), after which its proportion plummeted to less than 5% in freshly discarded shell middens. The wealth of paleolithic artifacts in emerged reef terraces in the southern and central Red Sea indicates that modern humans have been exploiting Red Sea mollusks for at least 125,000 years. Shells matching our description were also among the fossils in other Red Sea areas, suggesting that the new species, by virtue of its dominance, conspicuousness, size, and accessibility, has played an important role in the diet of human gatherer communities during the last interglacial. Along with early shellfishing evidence in other areas, this has spurred speculation that the dispersal of anatomically modern humans out of Africa into the Red Sea and adjacent regions 100,000 years ago was driven largely by competition for marine resources. Our discovery that T. costata was already on a trajectory of decline prior to this period provides the first circumstantial evidence that humans were not only using but also depleting reef resources. Declining marine and terrestrial resources, by human and climatic factors, respectively, may have acted in concert to thwart the precocious but short-lived colonization of the Near East by anatomically modern but technologically primitive humans at the end of the last interglacial. publicationS Richter, C., Roa-Quiaoit, H., Jantzen, C., Al-Zibdah, M., Kochzius, M.

(2009) Influence of Catastrophic Climatic Events and Human Waste on Vibrio Distribution in the Karnaphuli Estuary, Bangladesh, EcoHealth, DOI: 10.1007/s1 0393-009-0257-6 featured research Water-driven diseases such as cholera are still an important cause of morbidity and mortality in many developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America due to the lack of safe water supply and poor hygienic practices. The current cholera pandemic, which started in 1961, is the most extensive in geographic spread and duration. During 1994, cholera epidemics were reported from over 90 countries. The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera. Vibrios are aquatic bacteria of marine and estuarine origin. They can also cause diseases in fish, shrimp, corals, and other aquatic organisms. In tropical areas, coastal ecosystems and their basins are rapidly changing due to anthropogenic pressure and global warming. Thus, in such health-related issues, basins must be the natural units for vulnerability assessment and coastal management. Integrative, comparative approaches are needed for the understanding of functional links between the morphology of different estuaries, marshes, and mangroves, flooding and biogeochemical regimes, pathogen life cycles, and the incidence of disease. There are converging approaches in the investigation of tropical marine ecosystems and human diseases. These include the research on the same bacterial genus (Vibrio) which is responsible for both coral bleaching and cholera, the use of remote sensing of the ocean-surface temperature, climate research, and an emerging, epidemiological thinking common to these approaches. Traditionally, the association between water temperature and coral bleaching has been stressed, and only recently it has been discovered that this is probably triggered by a Vibrio bacterium and that it could be transmitted by a coralfeeding worm acting as “vector”. On the other hand, the study of cholera disease has drifted into marine and estuarine research. The association of V. cholerae with plankton has been established only recently, allowing an analysis of the epidemic patterns of cholera. Since the zooplankton has been shown to harbor the bacterium, and zooplankton blooms follow phytoplankton blooms, remote sensing can be employed to 20 determine the relationship of cases of cholera with chlorophyll, as well as sea-surface temperature, ocean height, nutrients, salinity, and turbidity. The sporadic appearance of cholera epidemics can now be at least partly related to climate-ocean coupling events, such as the “El Niño phenomenon”. The detection of reservoirs like mangroves, marshes, or corals, where these and other potentially dangerous microorganisms can prosper, represents a huge potential for promoting interactions between tropical coastal research and biomedical science. For the last three years, the ZMT has been carrying out a cooperation with the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases Research in Dhaka, Bangladesh, studying the relationship between the biogeochemistry of estuaries and wetlands, and the abundance and diversity of Vibrio organisms. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of climatic catastrophic events such as cyclones and landslides on the abundance of pathogenic bacteria in estuaries. An upcoming cooperation project with the National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases in Kolkata, India, will continue and extend this approach to other large estuaries which are affected by dams and pollution. There is an increasing awareness of the need of enhancing interdisciplinarity in biomedical research, particularly through the integration with environmental sciences. Cholera and other water-driven diseases are not an exclusive problem of developing and/or tropical countries. There have been cholera epidemics in Europe until the beginning of the 20 th century. More recently, there have been reports of skin infections in swimmers produced by Vibrio organisms in Sweden (seawater) and The Netherlands (freshwater). Slight changes of environmental factors such as water temperature, pH, or nutrient content can dramatically change the amount and diversity of the microbial community. Thus, increased efforts are required to detect these changes in an early stage to avoid the spread of the disease. Coral Photophysiology in Response to Thermal Stress and Nutritional Status Coral bleaching, the dissociation of corals and their zooxanthellae (symbiotic unicellular algae) and/or loss of chlorophyll in response to elevated seawater temperature can lead to extensive coral mortality and loss in biodiversity. It is generally accepted that the foremost causes of bleaching involve chronic photoinhibition of zooxanthellae and the subsequent formation of damaging reactive oxygen species. Photoinhibition is coupled to levels of antioxidant activity and rates of protein repair, processes which incur high metabolic costs in terms of nitrogen demands and energy expenditure. Since heterotrophic abilities of corals can vary considerably between reef habitats and species, understanding how food availability affects the susceptibility of corals to bleaching does provide important information aiding the prediction of the effects of increasing temperature on the coral community structure in relation to water quality. Using different methodological approaches, the objectives of this study were to investigate the prediction that exogenous food increases the thermal tolerance of the symbiotic association. This was tested in two feeding Esther M. Borell experiments which were carried out at the Hasanuddin University Marine Field Station in southwest Sulawesi, Indonesia. In both experiments, corals were either starved, i.e. deprived of organic particles or fed daily with freshly hatched brine shrimp nauplii. The first experiment assessed the effect of zooplankton feeding versus starvation on the bleaching susceptibility, the photosynthetic activity, and the photoprotective mechanism in the temperature-sensitive species Stylophora pistillata under elevated temperature. It was carried out over a period of 10 days employing pulse-amplitudemodulated (PAM) chlorophyll fluorometry. The second experiment was run for 15 days in order to investigate the potential interactions between zooplankton feeding, basal metabolic functions (photosynthesis and respiration), energy status (lipid concentrations), total protein concentrations, and the bleaching susceptibility of S. pistillata and the more temperature-tolerant species Galaxea fascicularis. As predicted, starved S. pistillata in Experiment 1 displayed strong signs of chronic photoinhibition, which was reflected by the 21 featured research Publications Borell, E.M., Bischof, K.

This was paralleled by the progressive deterioration of non-photochemical quenching, an important photoprotective mechanism. Fed corals by comparison maintained higher levels of photoprotection, which coincided with significantly higher rates of nocturnal photosystem recovery. Sustained photosynthesis of fed corals was accompanied by a reduced loss in pigmentation compared to starved corals. The tissue of starved corals in both experiments appeared pale relative to fed corals. The combined results of these experiments indicate that exogenous food can play an important role in reducing the photophysiological damage of zooxanthellae that typically leads to bleaching. Although the results of this study provide no indication of the underlying biochemical mechanisms as to how additional resources could have modulated the thermal resistance of the photosynthetic apparatus, it is conceivable that zooplankton provided a direct source of nitrogen to the zooxanthellae, facilitating enhanced rates of protein repair and reduced photophysiological damage of the zooxanthellae. To verify 22 this hypothesis, further biochemical and molecular investigations are needed. Near-shore environments are often characterized by heavy loads of terrestrial discharges of nutrients and sediment, which result in turbid, nutrient-rich waters smothering coral tissues and reducing light penetration, i.e. the key resource of scleractinian corals. As such, turbid waters are commonly considered as a stress factor for corals. Although coral populations can suffer high levels of mortality in regions with high nutrient loads, this is not necessarily always the case. Near-shore fringing reefs frequently feature corals which are adapted to thrive in this type of environment, yielding a high coral cover, growth rates and diversity. Suspended sediment and inorganic nutrients can be rapidly converted into particulate organic material. Against the background of rapid environmental change, turbid coastal environments may therefore buffer the stress susceptibility and enhance the fitness of some coral species. This would have important ecological implications for the persistence and dynamics of coral reef communities in the future. Tropical Peat Soil Degradation: Impacts on the Aquatic Environment The exponentially rising population of the world and the growing demand for space, food, energy, etc. are the main drivers of global change which have become so acute that even a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, was introduced. However, global change has many local facets which need to be analyzed and studied in order to develop sustainable management strategies for each individual region and ecosystem. Southeast Asian peat lands, covering ~10% of the Indonesian land mass, are, for example, a very sensitive ecosystem of global importance regarding the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, as seen during the strong drought induced by El Niño in 1997. At this time, the peatlands emitted 1.7 x 1015g of carbon, representing 74% of the global annual mean CO2 emissions caused by land-use changes. Peat-soil degradation increased dramatically during the last 40 years. If the present rate of deforestation remains constant, ~90 % of the original peat swamp forests will disappear within the forthcoming ~140 years. The joint Indonesian/German project “Science for the Protection of Indonesian Coastal Marine Ecosystems” (SPICE) aims at studying the environmental impacts of peatsoil degradation on the aquatic ecosystems in eastern Sumatra. The first idea of SPICE was born at an international conference organized by the Indonesian government in Jakarta shortly after the catastrophic forest Tim Rixen Antje Baum and peat fires in 1997. SPICE and the field work in the peatlands started in 2004. During the first phase, the work focused on the Siak River in central Sumatra. In the second phase, the working area was expanded and now includes all the six major peat-draining rivers in eastern Sumatra in order to get a more representative view on environmental changes. On seven expeditions to the peat-draining rivers water and sediment samples and also peat samples from the catchment soils were taken and analyzed for various parameters, e.g. dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved nutrients and oxygen. Furthermore, experiments on the degradation of dissolved organic carbon were carried out. Our first data indicate that the Siak owes its brown color to dissolved organic matter (DOM) leached from the surrounding, heavily disturbed peat soils. The DOC concentrations in the Siak are among the highest reported worldwide and are even four times higher than those of the Rio Negro which is often considered as the world’s classical black water river. Extrapolated to the entire Southeast Asian peatlands, our results indicate that the numerous small Indonesian peat-draining rivers contribute approximately 10% to the global riverine DOC export into the ocean - which stores approximately 20% more organic carbon than the terrestrial vegetation including the tropical forests. 23 featured research Publications Baum, A.

Model results indicate that an increase of the DOC concentrations by ~15% could already lead to oxygen-poor (anoxic) conditions in the Siak. The development of these anoxic zones, also called dead zones, can lead to a mass mortality of fish as has already been observed in the Siak. This emphasizes the sensitivity of the Siak to the peat-soil degradation which is assumed to increase DOC concentrations in the rivers. Eutrophication caused by anthropogenic inputs of dissolved inorganic nutrients is considered to be the main reason of the observed spread of the dead zones in aquatic habitats around the industrial world, and could also be observed in the Siak. In addition to industrial and urban wastewater discharges, agricultural run off played an important role, as was seen during the period of oilpalm fertilization at the end of the rainy season, when an enhanced washout of nitrogen 24 from the plantations doubled the dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations in the Siak. The low light and oxygen levels reduce the photosynthetic production of organic matter and hence the nutrient uptake in the river which, in turn, increases the riverine export of nutrients into the coastal ocean. Nevertheless, despite the anthropogenic impact, the nutrient concentrations and thus their export into the ocean was still much lower than observed elsewhere in non-blackwater rivers because of the low rate of nutrient leaching from the nutrient-poor peat soils. The results obtained during the SPICE project showed that peat-soil degradation and anthropogenic wastewater discharges strongly affect the ecological balance of the Siak River. Since anthropogenic activities on tropical peat soils are predicted to continue or even increase in the upcoming decades, further studies are needed to improve our understanding of the impact of peat-soil utilization on the very sensitive blackwater ecosystems.

The scientific staff also supervises both internal and external thesis students. In the period from 2006 to 2008, 20 doctoral theses and 16 diploma theses were successfully completed. A total of 34 doctoral theses and 6 diploma theses are currently underway. Furthermore, the ZMT develops joint education programs with partner countries such as China. Other capacity building activities like specialist training courses, summer schools, and on-the-job training were offered both in Bremen and in partner countries. The ZMT also hosted a number of internships in its laboratories for students and pupils. International Studies in Aquatic Tropical Ecology – ISATEC ISATEC is a two-year international MSc study program on aquatic tropical ecosystems which was jointly set up by the ZMT and Bremen University in 1999. Most of the teaching in the program is done by the ZMT staff. Postgraduates are trained in theoretical and applied tropical aquatic ecology, with emphasis on concepts and methodologies for the sustainable use and conservation of tropical aquatic ecosystems. The program was coordinated by the ZMT until 2007, when the Faculty of Biology of Bremen University took over coordination. capacity building 26 Sino-German Initiative on Marine Sciences Activities in this project aim at contributing to the development of an international education and intensifying scientific exchange. Starting in 2005, a Sino-German Master Program in Marine Sciences was jointly developed by the ZMT and other research institutions in Bremen and Kiel, together with the Ocean University of China (OUC) in Qingdao. It offers Chinese and German students a two-term study in specific fields of marine sciences at the partner university abroad, with the possibility of obtaining a MSc Double Degree. The first Chinese students, who spent an academic year in Bremen, have already completed their studies at the OUC and have obtained the Master’s degree. A second group of eight students of the University of Bremen have begun studying at the OUC as a part of the program in winter term 2008/09. Among further activities are annual summer schools intended to strengthen contacts and promote the mutual acquaintance with the teaching methods of each contributing partner. Since 2008, the ongoing cooperation is extended to include PhD programs under an agreement signed between the OUC and the University of Bremen. PhD Programs The ZMT hosts a large number of PhD candidates from its partner countries and Germany, who carry out their thesis research within the ZMT’s research projects. During the period of reporting, 20 students completed their doctoral thesis, whereas 34 PhD theses are still in progress. The Center also contributes to the International Graduate School ”Global Change in the Marine Realm” established at the University of Bremen in 2007, as a part of the German Excellence Initiative. The Graduate School educates young scientists in a stimulating research environment and enables them to be part of the worldwide effort aimed at dealing with issues of global change early in their doctoral training. Special Courses and Summer Schools Together with scientists from partner institutions, the ZMT conducted special courses from the modular series “The Sea and its Resources” at partner institutions in Brazil, Indonesia, and Vietnam. In cooperation with the NAM S&T Centre from India, a workshop cum seminar on “Coastal Ecosystems: Hazards Management and Rehabilitation” was conducted in Purwokerto, Indonesia. At the Phuket Marine Biological Centre in Thailand a training course was held on the subject of “Participatory Management in IKZM”. In the scope of Sino-German cooperation, annual summer schools were organized in Bremen and Kiel (2006), Büsum (2007), and Qingdao (2008), covering the subjects “Impacts of Global Change on Shelf-Open Ocean Systems”, “Processes in Coastal Zones”, and “Oceans under Stress”. Another summer school flanking a conference on „Coastal and Disaster Management for Extreme Events Impact Mitigation“ was conjointly organized by the ZMT and the Center for Coral Reef Research in Makassar, Indonesia. 27 capacity building Cooperation: Networks and International Organizations ACEMON Research Network The ACEMON (Aquatic Ecosystems of Monsoon Asia) network was established by the ZMT in 2004, with the support of the BMBF. It gives the ZMT and its partner institutions in Asian countries affected by monsoons the opportunity to develop joint research and training activities for an integrated management of their coastal ecosystems. This cooperation involved the publication of results arising from workshops and training courses conducted in Indonesia and Thailand during the previous years. In 2008, the work was focused on developing a special program in the region to study coral reefs, which received approval from the IOC-WESTPAC. Three workshops are planned within the project for the next two years. ICSU SCOR, SCOPE The ZMT contributes with its activities to scientific committees such as SCOPE and SCOR of the International Council for Science (ICSU). The Center hosts the chair of the national SCOPE Committee in Germany and of the new committee on capacity building established by SCOR. The SCOPE project on the silicon cycle was completed with a publication by Island Press. In 2007, the ZMT also organized, together with SCOPE and SCOR, a workshop on semi-enclosed basins at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg in Delmenhorst. ZMT scientists continued their cooperation with the SCOR working group on hypoxia. Also, the ZMT established new contacts with the ICSU Regional Office for Africa, pursuing the objective of helping to develop capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently it develops plans to cooperate with the newly established Centre of Excellence for Reef Research at the University of Dar Es Salaam in Zanzibar and the SANUMARC Marine Research Centre in Henties Bay, Namibia. NAM S&T Centre In the scope of its cooperation with the NAM (Non-aligned Movement and Developing Nations) Science and Technology Centre, the ZMT offers within its projects training to excellent young scientists from developing countries in the tropics. As yet, four candidates have been chosen and will stay at the ZMT for three months. cooperation 28 Together with the NAM S&T Centre and Indonesian universities a workshop was organized on “Coastal Ecosystems: Hazards Management and Rehabilitation” in Indonesia. IOC-UNESCO The ZMT participated in the activities of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the UNESCO related to capacity building in the WESTPAC (Western Pacific) region. Research projects like SPICE and the ACEMON Network contribute to the enhancement of the marine-research capacity in the WESTPAC (Western Pacific) region. A new project on coral reefs including the ZMT as a partner was initiated by the IOCWESTPAC. IGBP-LOICZ, IGBP-IMBER The ZMT contributes to both biogeochemical and social science aspects of the investigations of LOICZ. Cooperation was intensified since one member of the ZMT scientific staff is a member of the LOICZ International Scientific Steering Committee.. Together with LOICZ and SCOR, the ZMT is now developing plans how to enhance the impact of capacity building activities. In addition, plans for joint activities with respect to regional programs are being discussed. International Ocean Institute (IOI) The ZMT hosts the German Operational Center of the International Ocean Institute since October 2002. A member of the ZMT staff is the director of the Operational Center and is also chairing the Board of Operational Centre Directors that is responsible for the IOI strategy development. The ZMT contributes its expertise to networks run by the IOI and its OceanLearn program. During the last three years, the ZMT cooperated with the IOI in a GTZ project to support capacity building in the fisheries sector in Papua New Guinea together with the National Fisheries Authority. A fisheries study program was developed and implemented at the Vudal University in Papua. The ZMT also coordinated the participation of children from two Bremen schools in a Youth Parliament organized by the IOI in Malta. page Public Relations 30 Laboratories 30 Library 31 Electronic Data Processing and Data Management 31 Administration and Infrastructure 32 Services and Administration Services Public Relations Public relations at ZMT comprise media and press matters, issuing information material concerning the ZMT and its projects, and coordinates public awareness projects and events addressing the general public. The public relations office regularly provides information to the online scientific news service IDW, puts journalists in touch with ZMT experts, and writes or edits press releases and news items for the ZMT website. It also publishes its own articles in magazines. In the last three years, the media covered a broad range of subjects concerning the ZMT projects. One special focus was the accession of the ZMT to the Leibniz Association and during the International Year of the Reef, questions of reef degradation were also of concern. Press conferences were organized in the scope of the European Coral Reef Conference and the presentation of final results of the TRIOPS project. On the occasion of the annual conference of science journalists (WissensWerte) in Bremen, a group of journalists visited the ZMT. With its educational work with school children in the past years, the ZMT underwent a kind of ”trial phase”, in which various educational units were developed and implemented. Educational activities and services 30 cooperations with schools were continued on a smaller scale. A workshop on marine ecosystems was organized and pupils were coached by the ZMT staff while elaborating their project theses on subjects related to the sea. Upon requests from different schools, the ZMT gave presentations of its reef research and the aquaculture facilities. The ZMT contributes regularly to presentations that are conjointly prepared with other institutions such as the Leibniz Association, the Consortium of German Marine Research, or MARUM. Thus, it took part in an evening for German parliamentarians at the Natural History Museum in Berlin and in the exhibition “Plaza of Diversity” during the UN Biodiversity Conference in Bonn. There is also a close cooperation with Bremen’s “Haus der Wissenschaft”, which provides excellent opportunities to build bridges between science and the public: the ZMT participated in several exhibitions, took part in lecture series, and organized the events related to the International Year of the Reef. In November 2008, the ZMT and its partners presented their cooperation projects with China in Guangzhou, at an exhibition from the event series “Germany and China moving ahead together”. Information about the ZMT, its research and capacity building activities was edited in leaflets and reports. Structural changes and the expansion of the scientific divisions at the ZMT have led to an extensive reorganization of the website which will be relaunched with a new layout and content management system in 2009. Laboratories The ZMT further developed its analytical facilities by the acquisition of new instruments for its chemical and biological laboratories, as well as for use during field expeditions. These instruments included a mass spectrometer, an ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer), a HPLC for the analysis of sugars, an amino acid analyzer, and a TOC-TDN analyzer for determining dissolved carbon and nitrogen. Newly purchased field equipment includes the latest generation of oxygen probes (optodes) and microconductivity electrodes, which can also be applied to sediments. Two new systems have been installed in the biology laboratory for the measurement of temperature-depen- dent oxygen consumption in combination with measuring the activity of various fish and invertebrate species. The aquaculture facility of the ZMT operates a closed-loop water circulation system for the maintenance of tropical marine organisms. With it, ecological and physiological experiments can be performed on selected species. Of the five independent circuits, holding a capacity of more than ten cubic meters of volume, two have been in operation for more than three years. Several components were added to the modular watertreatment system. Each circuit now contains calcium reactors and UV treatment. The use of biological filtering modules (algae reactors, clams, mangrove plants) will continue owing to financial support by industrial partners through cooperation projects. In addition, two large basins with a capacity of 400 L were put into operation in order to maintain different species of hard corals. One of the basins contains a specially developed installation that is able to generate particular types of waves (solitons). The basins require extensive monitoring and the adjustment of water parameters. In cooperation with the MPI Bremen, a special microsensor workstation has also been developed to measure the physiological responses of corals and calcareous algae to rapid changes of pH and temperature. Library The ZMT library is a specialized one and contains collections on ecology, marine ecosystems, fisheries biology, and coastal management, as well as some titles on socioeconomics and biogeochemistry. It is regularly used by the staff of the ZMT, their guests, and thesis students supervised at the ZMT. The library is a member of the National Working Group of Marine Science Libraries (AMB). Its members exchange information and provide mutual support in answering literature requests from library users. Through the AMB, the library has an online-access to the ASFA (Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts) database maintained by Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. The ZMT is also a member of the Group of Libraries and Information Services of the Leibniz Association. The ZMT currently subscribes to about 25 scientific journals. The journals were reg- istered in a database, which was programmed with the aim of providing ZMT personnel with desktop access to the library for their research fields. Via the Campus Net of the University of Bremen, the ZMT has access to online journals through a national license funded by the DFG. The ZMT can also access all Springer titles held by the Consortium on the Common Library Network. Electronic Data Processing and Data Management The IT infrastructure of the ZMT includes various servers and an increasing number of PCs and notebooks. Internal services for users, like logins, data storage, and printing are hosted on a central server and realized under a LINUX operating system. To meet the requirements of the increasing amount of hosts and users, the data storage capacity was enhanced to four terabytes. All data are backed up continuously on separate devices and tapes. A new backup concept is in preparation and will include the use of a tapelibrary. Long-term preservation concepts for document and data storage are under discussion. The replacement of the server hardware for FTP services and the hosting of internal mailing lists were accomplished in November 2008. Since 2006, the telephone system includes new access points for mobile DECT phones and WLAN. The WLAN is primarily reserved for guests. It offers access to the world wide web independent of internal network and network services. 31 services Administration and Infrastructure The total number of members of the staff at ZMT increased from 41 (full-time equivalent) in 2005 to 46 in 2008. The positions of Ecological Modeler and Reef Ecologist that became vacant by the acceptance of professorships could be filled in 2008. Within two long-term projects, SPICE in Indonesia and LANCET in China, several new positions were filled in scientific and technical areas. In accordance with its development plans as a Leibniz Center, the ZMT could advertise four new positions for professorships. administration 32 In the field of IT, there has been an increase in service requirements both in terms of the number of PCs and laptops to be maintained and in the volume of data that have to be handled. The advertised position for an IT group leader failed to produce the desired result. Instead, the ZMT decided to employ an IT technician to support the group for the time being. Personnel badly needed in the areas of administration, technical support for the laboratory, as well as scientific and coordinating assistance to the Director are yet to be appointed. Considering the further development of the personnel at the ZMT, the increase in the number of projects as well as in the supervision of postgraduate students and guest scientists, there is a considerable pressure on the available office and laboratory capacity. The increasing demand for work space was partially met by renting an additional floor in the annex. Thus, the ZMT is now the sole tenant of the entire building complex. The problem of space is being further tackled by the new construction of a three-story extension to the annex, which will be used as laboratory and office space. The extra space will allow us to conduct new research in the field of aquaculture that will be of interest to potential partners from the industry, and to develop further projects involving new research groups to be established at the end of 2009.
